  • + 1. How do I permit students to retake a Tests & Quizzes assessment if only one submission is allowed?
    • An instructor can let a student resubmit his answers to a test. IIn Tests & Quizzes, click Scores on the published assessment. Then click Submission Status and Allow retake? under the student's name.

      Note that after a student retakes a test, if you export the scores for the published test the file produced will contain the results of both submissions. For both the Gradebook and the Tests & Quizzes the latest score is kept.

  • + 2 Why can't I see student names when grading a Sakai@UD Tests & Quizzes assessment?
    • In Tests & Quizzes, assessments are graded anonymously by default. This feature is intended to prevent grading bias based on a grader's past experience with a particular student. This setting cannot be changed in a published assessment.

      Before publishing an assessment, in the Core Assessment, an instructor can click Settings then Grading to choose the option that allows student identities to be seen by graders.

  • + 3. If I make a change to a question in one of my question pools, will that question be automatically changed in an existing assessment?
    • No. The connection between a pending assessment and a question pool must be reset if changes are made to the pool:

      1. • If you have copied an individual question, delete the question and re-add it to the assessment.
      2. • If you randomly draw from a question pool in a part of an assessment, edit the part and click Save.

      Remember that questions can only be edited in a pending assessment. If you need to change a question in a published assessment, first remove the published assessment, edit the pending version and republish it.
